Place pie plate on a wire rack and allow to cool. Lower heat to 350 degrees. Meanwhile in a medium saucepan, combine dry pudding mix, water, nutmeg, and rhubarb. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until rhubarb becomes soft and mixture starts to boil. Pour hot rhubarb mixture into cooled piecrust. In a large bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixture until soft peaks form. Add Splenda and vanilla extract. Continue beating until stiff peaks form.
